    Feed response male vs. female

    Just curious if anybody else has noticed this, or if its just personality. My females all have amazing feed response. Like the minute the rat touches down. The boys, usually watch for awhile before they hit. And the females swallow them down quicker. My boys take forever to eat. Just personality? Or has anyone else noticed difference in theirs?

    I have 8 gals and 4 guys and it is variable among them. My Pastel Phantom girl is on a bit of a hunger strike, but my Jigsaw would eat daily if I let her. The other girls are in between. For the boys, my BEL can be picky, but the others grab it from me every time.

    Ive noticed no difference in gender. I think purely about the individual and its current mood. For instance I have two females that are hesitant to eat and very sensitive to how they are feed while I have one female who devours any thing I give her. I also have a male that has a strong feeding response to any thing the moves.

    My male is psychic and literally strikes the rat instantaneously. If i scented a chicken McNugget to smell like a rat i bet you he'd pound it w/out thinking. My 2 females on the other hand take a little coaxing/zombie dancing lol.

    I have one female and she won't strike, I have to leave the (F/T) mice in her tank overnight for her to eat them.
